HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. January 16, 1958. Livestock Meet Draws Big Crowd The best attended annual meeting of the Morrow County Livestock Growers Association was held this past weekend. It was the ninth annual meeting. The Bull Day held Friday drew over 100 people who consigned, traded or just looked and visited while 49 bulls were on display. It was hard to keep an accurate check on the number of bulls which changed hands, It Is cer tain that at least 29 were traded or sold. The afternoon discussion by Si Williams, livestock auct loneer was a popular attractiin and over 100 persons were count ed in the crowd during the time that Si explained what to look for in a bull and why. Seventy-eight livestock men re gistered at the Saturday meeting, Over 175 attended the evening banquet. Chairmen reporting for 11 committees active during 1957 showed that the association has carried out many activities over the past year. The major activity of the year reported on by chair man Ralph Beamer was that of the construction of livestock cor rals and scales for use by live stock association members. The report showed that livestock men had contributed almost $7000 for the construction of a new 10 ton scales and holding corrals. It was reported that almost 3000 head of cattle had been run through the scale since their completion The Saturday afternoon debate on the proposed Beef Commission drew lots of discussion. Carrying out the debate were Ted Hyde, Bly rancher and chairman of the Oregon Beef Commission comm ittee; BUI Johns, Umatilla county rancher and feeder and Jay Scott, Umatilla county rancher. The "for" side maintained that beef commission should be establish ed so that beef men could help themselves in solving the many beef marketing problems which lie ahead of them.

Area Water Supply Outlook Favorable Water supply outlook for Uma tilla, Morrow and Gilliam count ies is satisfactory, according to a report released this week by the U S D A soil conservation service and the Oregon agricul tural experiment station. Analy sis of early winter snow surveys, soil moisture conditions and res ervoired water supplies indicates the situation is more favorable than at this date last year. Snow surveys from Emigrant springs, Tollgate and Mecham indicate nearly three times the water content of last year at this date. The snow Is well distributed even at fairly low elevations. It is notable that the snow pack lies on well wetted soils. Moisture penetration has been measured down to three feet in many places. Both McKay and Cold Springs reservoirs now hold more water than at this date last year. Cold Springs with 22,000 acre feet slightly exceeds its average stor age figure of 21,000 acre feet. McKay currently holds about 18 000 acre feet which is 66 percent of average. Discharge of the Um atilla river since October 1 has been close to normal but Oct tobor alone was twice normal. The current statewide outlook for 1958 water supplies is sat isfactory with a 120 percent nor mal snow cover now present in the mountain watersheds. Reser voired water supplies are mostly well above normal. RELIGION SERIES BEING CONTINUED The second in the" discussion series of the World's Great Relig ions will be held next Tuesday at 7 p m at the Hope Lutheran church. Last week the Hindu faith was reviewed and this week Bud shlsm will be discussed. With the aid of colored slides taken from a recent series in Life mag-' azinc, pictures will be shown tl the sacred mountain of Sri Pada in Ceylon where in a shrine atop the 7760 foot mountain, the foot prints of Gautama the Buddha are venerated by devout pilgrims from all over south Asia.

Itemization will be required in preparing the 1958 federal in come tax returns a year hence. Meanwhile, taxpayers may ig nore one line of the 1957 feder al forms. Following outcries of consternation from employees, employers and accountants, the government temporarily dropped the requirement for l'sting ex pense account data, although the query remains on the tax forms on line 6-A, the committee said. After the forms had already been printed the internal reve nue commission threw in the sponge as far as itemization is concerned. Commissioner Russell C Harrington admitted it "would place too great a burden on many taxpayers" because it was announced so late in the year. Harrington, in common with tax advisors, has issued repeat ed warnings to taxpayers to keep accurate records on expense ac counts, starting at the first of the year, "so that for 1958 and later years they will be 'n a pos ition to supply expense account information to the government."
